Day 2 of blogging marathon with theme “Soups and Salads”. Today we are going to see a filling and healthy soup. When we visited our friend recently, I saw the book “My Indian Kitchen” by Hari Nayak. I borrowed it to mainly look at the soups section and this particular soup caught my attention instantly. It had my favorite ingredients like chickpeas and spinach and it was also easy to put together.

I made my variations to the soup based on the ingredients on hand and found the soup to be thin even with corn starch. So I decided to puree the soup partially and skip the corn starch the next time I made it. It was very tasty and filling and is going to be on the menu often. Also, the soup uses vegetable stock which I did not have and I used water instead. Obviously stock will add additional flavor to the soup, so use it if you have it on hand. Off to the recipe.
